Question

Tongue turned brown

Asked for Female, 30 Years

I woke up in the morning and saw my tongue. It turned brown. I have never experienced it before. Last thing I had the day before is triphala churnam and some water. I didn't brush the night before. I used tongue cleaner to clean and saw some brown go away. Confused whether to visit the doctor or not. Kindly help please

Overnight change of colour should be staining. See if it reduces over next 2 days. If you have any increasing symptoms, kindly see a dentist
